Decided to take a break from powder burners and ordered a new Umarex Origin in .22 a couple weeks ago. I have been super happy with it so far except for one very annoying issue. Dramatic point of impact shifts from day to day. I know this issue is well-known but I am wondering if anyone has found a definite solution? I have removed the shroud and front pic rail and snugged up/lock tited all barrel screws. My gun is the newer version with the threaded shroud and plastic barrel stabilizer at the muzzle. I have also used a piece of weed whacker string to help tighten up the barrel band. Still having maddening changes in poi. Get her dead-nuts zeroed one afternoon and could miss a barn the next day. I've about had it. I will sell it for something better in a second if it cannot be fixed. I am wondering if the DonnyFL adapter he sells for the Avenger/Origin would be a worthwhile possibility? I refuse to accept that I'll have to re-zero the gun every time I take it out of the safe! Any help appreciated!
Also would like to add that any advice along the lines of "don't let the shroud/barrel touch anything" is unacceptable to me. This is a working tool for me and I cannot go around treating it like a baby.
